Here are some questions you can ask your preschooler about our day:
What color is our Alphabet Friend?
What were you looking for in the books? Did you find any?
What color is in the middle of your traffic light?
How long ago was the yellow traffic light invented? What does it mean?
Wednesday: Yellow Light Day
YELLOW LIGHT: We learned about Garrett Morgan who invented the yellow traffic light a hundred years ago! For our project we made traffic lights and got a picture of Mr Morgan in our journals. At Circle Time we added a yellow traffic light to the Big Yellow Picture e of all the yellow things we could think of. Our Alphabet Friend, Yolanda, is all yellow and we added her to the Big Yellow Picture too. At Snack Time we ate yellow things … but we didn’t eat a traffic light!
Y WHY JOKE: At Circle Time we practiced a word play joke. Ms Kristin shows the letter Y and asks what letter it is. When the children call out, “Y” Ms Kristin pretends they said, “Why” so she says something like, “Because I want to know. Will you please tell me what letter this is?” and then we repeat it many times. Try it at home and have fun.
STORY TIME: We went on picture walks through4 books about transportation so we could find some yellow traffic lights. We found them and read about some ducklings that needed help crossing the road!
COPING SKILL OF THE WEEK: Pause. Just like the yellow of a traffic light, we can slow down and pause. Even young children can sense a safety and connection to self by resting with a hand on their belly and a hand on their heart.
